Andreas Sternowski<p>The biggest problem of our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> is that we are doing the wrong thing more and more perfectly. All our difficulties are a consequence of this one problem: the destruction of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a>, the declining quality of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/life" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>life</span></a>, the feeling that we as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/societies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>societies</span></a> are at a loss, that we as individuals do not really feel <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/happy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>happy</span></a>, the growing gap between <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rich</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poor</span></a>... <br>All these developments are the result of our ongoing efforts to do the wrong thing better and better.</p>

Uzi Bobuzi<p>There's been a pattern of me posting something critical of civilization and someone getting *really* mad and coming for me in replies. I was pondering this the past couple of days after the latest iteration of this phenomenon.</p><p>I came to the conclusion that the folks doing this are *terrified* and reacting like a wild creature that's backed into a corner. Lashing out in anger as a form of defense against the possibility that the Leviathan they've been embedded in since birth is actually a force for their destruction wrapped in a shiny package.</p><p>I was discussing this with my eldest, a very perceptive spawn of mine and he said it's existential dread on the level of eldritch horror. I can't say he's wrong.</p><p>The problem is, how can we have a discussion about this with people in feral wounded animal mode? It's one of the reasons I've come to the conclusion that we're not going to be able to walk away like the inmates of prior civilizations were able to do. We're going to have to ride the falling giant to its inevitable end and forage off its rotting corpse in the aftermath. </p><p>This makes me really melancholy. But then I remember back to when I was assimilating all the anti-civ stuff I was reading about a decade and a half ago, and how it made me feel like I was losing it for a while until I found a balance in my head, and I guess I can't fault folks for reacting like this. I've long lived on the knife edge of paradox of various kinds and am no stranger to navigating the cognitive dissonance that occurs while figuring out how to fit it into my worldview. Most folks just aren't, and can't, and we'll just have to sink or swim when the time comes.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civilization</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndCiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndCiv</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apathy</span></a></p>
Andreas Sternowski<p>Peter <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Drucker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Drucker</span></a> said something very important. He said: “There is a difference between doing things right and doing the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/right" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>right</span></a> thing.” Russell L. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ackoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ackoff</span></a> added to this: “The righter you do the wrong thing, the more wrong you become.”<br>As a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a>, we are getting better and better at doing the wrong thing.</p>
Joseph Meyer<p>Reading the essays published in Resistance, Rebellion, and Death by Albert Camus reminded me how much ground U.S. society has ceded in my lifetime to antisocial beliefs and normalized insults to human dignity. The book challenged and refreshed my thinking and sleeping values, inspiring me to try harder to advance civilization within myself and in my community, even if only in small ways. In these difficult times, I found it a helpful read.<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Camus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Camus</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Civilization</span></a></p>
Uzi Bobuzi<p>There is no such thing as a "peaceful" civilization. Civilization is *always* built on oppression, theft, genocide (whether human or non-human). Rule of law is always at the threat of having a gun pointed in your face. People need to quit thinking civilization is some kind of benign state that keeps a peaceful world. </p><p>I hate to bring up everybody's hated FBI snitch and transphobe but this film (despite the messenger) made by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@franklinlopez" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>franklinlopez</span></a></span> covering Derrick Jensen's anti-civ thoughts, is still apt.

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>In 1967, the State of Israel attacked Egypt. Already, it was referred to as a ‘pre-emptive strike’. Since then, the Jewish State has occupied Sinai, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. (see map)<br>For three centuries, this war has been the only one to bear the name of its duration: the ‘Six-Day War’, a name that glorifies the military impact (of the Zionist Sparta).<br>In 1968, several French intellectuals drew a link between the Six-Day War, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.<br>The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an organisation that supports the Israeli government and fights against diversity. In 1974, Arnold Forster and Benjamin Epstein of the ADL published a book entitled ‘The New anti-Semitism’, expressing their concerns about :<br>- an indifference to the fears of ‘the Jewish people’,<br>- apathy in dealing with prejudice against Jews,<br>- an inability to understand the importance of Israel for the survival of the ‘Jewish people’ (in their view).<br>Hence controversy in the United States (among professionals in public debate).<br>Later, Allan Brownfeld wrote that Forster and Epstein's definition of anti-Semitism trivialised the concept by turning it into ‘a form of political blackmail’ and ‘a weapon to silence any form of criticism of Israel or of US policy in the Middle East’ (in ‘Anti-Semitism: Its Changing Meaning’, Journal of Palestine Studies, vol. 16, no 3 (Spring, 1987), pp. 53-67).</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IsraelArabConflict" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelArabConflict</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SixDayWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SixDayWar</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/historyOfThought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historyOfThought</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/proZionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proZionism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/clashOfCivilizations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clashOfCivilizations</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheWest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWest</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/instrumentalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instrumentalisation</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/confusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>confusion</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/amalgam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amalgam</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/newAntisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newAntisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MiddleEast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiddleEast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StandWithIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/islamophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>islamophobia</span></a></p>

Because a complex <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/social" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>social</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/system" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>system</span></a> always reproduces its behavior. That is a law of nature.<br>The only way to change such a system from the ground up is to create a new one. This has happened often enough in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> of mankind. But these were not planned <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/changes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>changes</span></a>. Today we should know better.</p>

Here’s stuff I’ve experienced. <br>- the Unicode bug in the screen caps below<br>- the resource assignment screen sometimes just glitches and won’t let me assign anything. I press o to back out, R1 to go back in, and it works <br>- I played multiplayer the first time last night and for half the session my friend did not get tooltips popping up. They’d work for a while, then they’d stop. We rebooted, reconnected and they just wouldn’t stay. </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civilization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilization</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/civilizationvii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilizationvii</span></a></p>
